Beam Blanking allows the light curtain to operate where there is a permanent or floating obstruction in the sensing field, such as workpiece supports.
EN 61496 Type 4 Design is the highest level of the most stringent standard in the world, and is suitable for the most dangerous machine guarding applications.

This Self-contained 2-Unit System is capable of safety functions without additional equipment. It interfaces readily with common safety relay units and fail-safe PLCs, as well as with Tapeswitch safety controllers.
